Process
They asked some good coding questions, which were mostly based on the application of algorithms. The questions were good enough that they could be solved with good coding practice.
I would recommend practicing for at least a month.
Questions
Coding involving basic algorithm questions.

Not a great place
Software Engineer • Former Employee
February 25, 2025
Pros: Co-workers were great to work with. Good team bonding.
Cons: Terrible leadership, very sloppy code present in all codebases. You are expected to work on top of the sloppy code.
The CEO is also known to be a terrible person, which translates down to your team lead and management to also be terrible as well.
There is also lots of burnout from people, as well as return to office very soon despite people providing the same output while being WFH.
Everything changed as soon as their stocks dropped...
